[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 108094, member: 1514"] This is an ongoing argument in our family about gifts. My theory is that I dont really care what I get for a gift. I dont need or want anything at Xmas to be honest. Im not really a material person and we havent been able to afford much over the years so what money we have had I wanted to spend on the kids. husband swears that I have hurt his feelings when he has attempted to get me a gift but I cant honestly remember but a few gifts he has given me! He says this is why he wont do it...lol. I now want something really special but its for our 25th anniversary not Xmas. I want an anniversary "forever" band. I never have worn any type of ring in all these years. Supposedly when we first got together he got me a wedding band that cost $75. I vaguely remember it but it didnt fit me long and I put it in my moms safety deposit box and that got lost over the years. The only other two pieces of jewelry he ever got me were a mothers ring that he got at a rock show at a convention center that was just plain ugly and had rocks instead of even fake stones and a $30 tennis bracelet that I really liked but it broke after I wore it daily to work for about 3 months. I dont think its too much to ask for a 1 carat forever ring after 25 years. He thinks I am being too material. I have told him for 5 years now that I want it on the 25th. He wants to know what he will get. He thinks if he gets me this, I should get him a boat! I dont think so! He thinks its unfair that women expect jewelry and such for gifts and men have to comply. I said all men have to do is think about their mates. Im really not that hard. Obviously we have been discussing this one...lol. Loudly. [/QUOTE]
